RBK20 Connection lost on ethernet backhaul
#Situation In my Setup (RBK20= 1xOrbi-Router-RBR20 + 1xOrbi-Satellite-RBS20) the wifi work, but some (not all) devices lost communication (irregular) if they are connectet to the satelit RBS20. I m...
If should go
Modem/router------>RBR20----->Switch----->RBS20
The gateway needs to be direct wired to the rbr20's wan port and then the rbr should be connected to the switch via lan port.
Also, do you have your gateway in modem only/passthrough mode? Or the orbi's IP address put into its dmz? Or the orbi in access point mode?
otherwise you're in a double nat.
Thanks for the quick reply.
Currently the modem provides DHCP, the RBR mode is set to AP (access point).
All netwerk devices and RBR and RBS receive there IP's from the modem-DHCP range. This looks good.
I will follow the suggested setup and put the RBR in front of the switch and try it with another RBS.
